In January 2019, the victim's mother contacted DCS after discovering her 14-year-old daughter had a sexual relationship with a 20 year old man, reports said.

After the DCS report was filed, an investigator with the Special Victims Unit spoke with the victim.

The victim is currently pregnant and said she was impregnated during that encounter, reports said. According to the victim's birthdate, she was 13 at the time.
